Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare Watermelon Juice

    Cut a ripe watermelon into chunks and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to extract the juice, discarding the solids.

    Combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool before using.

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the Herradura Silver Tequila, fresh watermelon juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. If you like it spicy, add the jalapeño slice to the shaker.

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
